COLUMBUS, o., May 2S.-Charles
Peakes, dairyman at the outskirts of
the city heard burglars about his house
early yesterday morning and raised a
window. AS he did so, they opened
fire upon him and one of the balls took
effect in his abdomen from the effects
Of which he will die. Suspicion rested
upon three young men who previously
had been in his employ and the detec-
tives arrested Edward Birmingham
and Grey and Raymond Judy the three
young men referred to, and last
night they confessed that they had
made murderous assault upon the
life of Peakes. They had gone there
for the purpose of burglarizing the
house and when they found they had
probably been recognized by Peakes
they concluded to take his life.

Mrs .Lesh of Americas was in town
trading with our merchants Monday.

Hon. John S. Grimsley and George
E. Wilmington, President and Secre-
tary of the Allen Town Company, were
in the city Tuesday. The town
of Allen is on the Mis-

new place, located handsomely in the
midst of splendid agricultural coun-
try, and possesses advantages which
will undoubtedly make it one of the

ST. LOUIS, May ga special from
Rockville, Missouri, says: The shoot
ing to death Of John Vanderburgh in
the court room yesterday during his
preliminary examination on a charge
of outraging Jennie Anderson. is now
believed to be horrible mistake, not
withstanding the victim of some mans
lust identified Vanderburg as the man.
Her Identification was of that uncer-
tain kind that usually fixes the crime
on the first person arrested. Wander
burg was cooking for a camping party
four miles from the scene of the out
rage at 3 o'clock that afternoon, and at
5 he was again in camp. The coroner's
jury censured the judge for not dis
arming and watching the relatives of
the unfortunate girl, from whom some
thing desperate was expected, and they
brought in verdict of murder against
Lint Anderson and Ed. Evans. The
testimony shows that the constables
were watching these men, but were
thrown of their guard by their COM
posed manner while the judge was re-
viewing the case.

however, must be given the highest
praise. The enthusiasm ran so high
before the end of their half hour that
the judges and company officers were
compelled to demand q cessation of an
plause it being difficult for the officers
to make the commands audible.
The rifle competition began this
morning at the Washington arsenal.
The contests to-day were 200 and 300
yards. The firing tomorrow will be at
500 and 900 yards. Lieutenant Pol
lard, of the Washington Light Infan-
try corps, led to-day with score of IS
out of a possible 100. The competition
for Artillery prizes was held this morn
ing in the Athletic Park. Only two
commands took part. Battery A, In
dianapolis Light Artillery, Captain
Curtis, came first and the men acquit-
being noted. The First Light Battery,
Wisconsin National Guard, Captain
j. b. Oliver, then took their
places. Captain Oliver was more
deliberate in giving his orders,
resulting in greater precision. At 2:3O
the Zouave competitions began, the
Chicago and Memphis companies being
entered. Inc Ch1cag0anS came first,
and were greeted with loud applause.
They performed but few fancy move
ments, but in wheeling, marching, bay
onet and skirmish drill showed great
proficiency. One of their feats. the.
scaling of twelve-foot fence, was
perhaps the most difficult yet attempt
ed on the drill ground. The Memphis
Company was warmly greeted in turn.
They Obeyed the word of command
with marvellous celebrity and all their
movements were as If impelled by
springs of high tension. Their firing
and skirmish drills were little short of

NATIONAL AFFARs.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27.-The

prevailing and the turf drill ground is
in the best possible condition. The fol-

company came to the front at the
strike of 10 o'clock. Their marching
and work in manual were very good.
One or two blunderS on the part of
individual members were noted and
one of their vOlieys was decid-
eddy rattling, but the popular verdict
upon their performance is decidedly
above the average" the Alexandria
boys exhibited abundant zeal and Oc-
casionally merited the plaudits OF
friends in the tstand. Their volley fir

Cook Count1 Qaaranlined.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The order of
Commissioner Coleman quarantining
Cook county on account of pleuro-pneu-
monia created great excitement among
cattle dealers and others interested
here, and until this afternoon it was
feared that the order applied to cattle
in transit, which, according to the
large shippers, simply kills the cattle
trade of Chicago as dead as door nail.
Professor Law, of the live stock COM
mission, was greatly surprised to hear
that Commissioner Coleman had or
dered quarantine against Cook coun-
ty. He could hardly believe that any
such step would be taken unless he had
first been consulted. Only a few days
ago he wrote the department in order to
correct an impression evidently pre-
vailing there that there was pleurO-
pneumonia at the stock yards. In the
house at the state capital this morning
bill was introduced and advanced to
a second reading providing that the
question of the suppression of pleuro-
pneumonia in the state be placed in the
hands of the bureau of animal indus
try of the United States.

Tha Grocera, Profaet.

ST. LOUIS, May 27.-The Associated
Wholesale Grocers of this city have en-
tered formal complaint of discrimin-
alton against the Missouri Pacific be-
fore the interstate commission. 1t is
alleged that a conspiracy exists between
the Missouri Pacific and other lines by
which shippers outside of the state are
charged less for transportion for points
outside than is charged for Missouri
shippers for transportation between
the points; that though the Missouri
Pacific has no line of its own between
this city and East st. Louis, it offers
to do business for both those points
from Kansas, Nebraska and other
states at the same rate, and as the
Missouri Pacific must pay something
for transportation across the river out
of the compensation received, it is ar
gued that this city is Disseminated
against in favor of East st. Louis. 1t
is further set forth that the Missouri
Pacific rates for carload lots from this
city and other points is more than %
per cent less than the rate charged for
similar merchandise in quantities less
than car load, which it is alleged is in
violation Of1intorStato law
